Overview
- An upgraded cross-platform transfer experience is starting today in an Android Canary build for Pixel devices.
- Apple says the same capabilities will appear in an upcoming iOS 26 developer beta, but no release timing was provided.
- Apple’s iOS 26.2 release candidate does not include the new cross-platform improvements.
- The companies indicate the beta will add support for more data types as development progresses.
- Users are advised to keep using Apple’s Move to iOS and Google’s Android Switch apps for transfers until broader availability, with 9to5Mac and 9to5Google planning deeper analysis once they review the builds.
